Treating Sciatica with a sheep tail

In the
traditions of Ibn Majah as was reported from Anas Ibn Malek
the prophet (PBUH) said: “The cure of
Sciatica
is the tail of a desert sheep molten and split into three
parts each is taken on an empty stomach for three following
days” (Desert sheep: meaning sheep
that graze in areas with grass growing naturally.)

Symptoms of
Sciatica:Sciatica is a
pain radiating along the
sciatic nerve starting from the hips down the back of
the leg and possibly to the foot.

The longer
it remains the more it moves down the leg that becomes
thinner, accompanied with numbness and weakness of the leg.

The
symptoms may include a
back pain
and can be serious if are accompanied by bowel or bladder
incontinence.

What causes Sciatica ? :
Sciatica has various causes; most cases result from a
herniated disc
that leads to the compression of the nerve roots.

Infection
by some enterobacteria causes the inflammation of the
sciatic nerve and so Sciatica.

Scientific miracles in the hadith

1-The role of fats in the treatment of
this illness:

The
prophet(PBUH)
mentioned that the treatment of Sciatica, in some cases,
is the tail
of a sheep, which is in fact fat.

Modern science says:

Lipid metabolism has three branches, each is related
to the type of fat consumed in a big quantity, leading
therefore to the formation of three different
chemical
compounds that have opposite effects from each other.
These compounds, called the prostaglandins, resemble the
hormones and have different effects on pains and
inflammations in the body.

Prostaglandins
type 1 prevent pain and come from the fatty acid called
gamma linoleic acid GLA that belongs to the
omega 6 fat group found on a limited basis in somewildplant
.

Therefore medical products
containing extracts of those two plants are expensive. Those
products help people that do not have active enzymes to
convert linoleic acid to
gamma linoleic acid and then to prostaglandins type
3.

Type two prostaglandins, on the
other hand, augment the pains. These are formed from omega 6
fat group as well, and mainly from linoleic acid found in
margarines and cakes, as well as vegetal oils converted by
the food industry to the solid
trans fats,
so that cakes, chocolates and sweets remain in the solid
state in room temperature.

Type 3 prostaglandins are known
for their calming action on the pains and inflammations.
Those are formed from
Alpha Linoleic Acid (ALA), which is converted to the
two compounds EPA and DHA. Alpha Linoleic Acid is found in
the oils of natural leaves and herbs, and so this is an
advantage of the natural vegetal food eaten by humans and
animals like the sheep living in a desert (oasis)

Oils that contain alpha linoleic
acid are cheap. Those belong to the omega3 group known for
its large benefits and are liquid in room temperature.

Some of
the benefits of fats of omega 3class are:
- The decrease of
cholesterol level, - The protection from heart and
brain strokes - The
protection from arterial hypertension, rheumatoid, eczema
and cancers.

Furthermore it was proved that
lipids of type sys have a role in decreasing the lipid
amount in the body and so in weight loss.

Contrary to the fats of omega 3
class, saturated
animal fats and hydrogenated vegetal fats which is
converted in food industry to fats of type Trans, as well as
fats of omega 6 class do not have all the benefits that
omega 3 fat class has but have many harms.

This big
variation in
omega 3 fats benefits can be understood by showing
the physiological effects of the principal fatty acids.

Fatty acids are involved in the
formation of the tissues of the brain, the eye, the ear, the
reproductive glands and the other glands’ tissues.

They are involved in the
formation of the membranes surrounding all the cells in the
body and acting to protect the cells.

Fatty acids have a role in
repairing the
nervous tissues as in the case of a herniated disk,
one of the principal causes of Sciatica.

Science proved that Omega three
fat group has important roles in treating the inflammation
of nervous tissues, which is the second main cause of
Sciatica. A book specialised in this field was edited in
1998, written by Joel Krimmer, the professor in medicine and
the chief of the
rheumatism
division in the medical school in New York. The book is
titled “The Medical Fats and Inflammation” and includes many
details of the biochemistry of the inflammation treatment by
the omega 3 fats.

2- The desert sheep live on natural herbs,rich
in the omega 3 fats and from which scientists could
extracted 700 medicines. The beneficial oils the sheep
obtains from these herbs are stored in its tail.

3-
The Prophet (PBUH) said that the tail should be melted first,and
so the harmful bacteria and germs are killed by the heat.

4-
It should also be taken in three days, not more,to
avoid fat oxidation and rancidity.

5-It should be taken on an empty stomach:so
that no other
lipids compete with the lipids of the tail for
absorption in the digestive tract at the vesicule and
pancreas level in addition to the cellular level where the
enzymes acting at the membrane convert those lipids of the
omega 3 group to the beneficial type 3 prostaglandin that
reduce the inflammations and the pain caused by Sciatica
